Live 2003 is the first live album by the British rock band Coldplay. It was released on 10 November 2003 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom.[6] However, Capitol Records made it available on 4 November 2003 in the United States,[7] with screenings at select theaters being held a day before as well.[8] Featuring the shows filmed at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on 21 and 22 July 2003,^[citation needed] the album marks the group's second live project after Trouble – Norwegian Live EP (2001).

It was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[9] and named one of the greatest releases of the year by Blender.[10] The song "Moses", exclusive to the album, was written about Chris Martin's then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and inspired the name of their second child,[11] born in 2006.[12] It was sent to alternative radio stations in the United States as a promotional single on 6 October,[13] while the recording of "Clocks" had a promotional push in countries such as Mexico and Spain.[14]
